On his recent visit to Mérida, Horacio de la Vega, president of the Mexican League, confirmed that the summer circuit will expand by 2024, opening for two more teams. And those two teams have a first and last name, at least in the context managed by the Mexican League: Conspiradores de Querétaro, who will be born for professional baseball, and a ninth team for the capital of Chihuahua, which everything indicates will be called Dorados, a well-known nickname. for that square.
But yesterday reports circulated that, at least in the case of the Chihuahuan capital, it would not be financially ready to return. The “Pure Baseball” portal, directed by Roberto Espinoza from Puebla, gave two details that attract attention.
One, that the Generals Durando are ready to announce to the Mexican League that they will move to Chihuahua, yes, but not to the capital, but to Ciudad Juárez, where the Indios played several decades ago (finalists in 1984 against Yucatán in his prime). The departure of the Generals had been mentioned a long time ago.
Another, that having baseball in the capital Chihuahua is ruled out, at least by 2024, because although they have an ideal stadium for professional baseball, they do not have the one who will own it, and if they do not find a businessman who meets the requirements soon that the league demands, there will be no baseball in the “chihuas”.
At the press conference in which they announced the Baseball Champions League, Horacio de la Vega said with the certainty that these two places would enter.
The problem lies, and they insisted on asking him, is that in the 2023 season there were teams with severe problems, such as the Piratas de Campeche, with assists to cry, or the Mariachis de Guadalajara, who lost a game by forfeit by refusing to play for non-payment of wages.
De la Vega commented, on Wednesday of last week, that everything was going well and that they were looking to grow more to the LMB, that the show was growing to the liking of the fans. Teams like Bravos de León and the Generals had difficulties with attendance at their parks, the same problem that the Rieleros de Aguascalientes had. Of the hydrocalids it is said that they could leave that city.
Many teams ended up badly sportingly speaking, moreover, especially in the South Zone, which is why there is contrary criticism, in the sense that it would be better to stay at 18 or reduce to 16 to increase the quality of the show that is offered on the field. .
The North was more fought over, with greater resources and infrastructure, but also with its difficulties, hence the idea that the Generals, who were not bad, want to move to another city, endangering what De la Vega said: that Chihuahua capital will have equipment Ciudad Juárez could take the lead.— Gaspar Silveira Malaver
